Natural Capital Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services project - roadmap
Bram Edens, Ph.D.Senior statistician / Project manager
United Nations Statistics DivisionPlanning and Stakeholder consultation meeting
Outline
• The Natural capital accounting and valuation of ecosystem services project
> Workstreams
• Roadmap in Mexico> Approach > Planning / Milestones
• Additional ecosystem services
• Discussion
Partners
• Implementing partners• United Nations Statistics Division• United Nations Environment Programme• (CBD)
• Sponsor• European Union• Partnership Instrument
• Five partner countries• Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa
• Project duration• 4 years from 2017-2020
Overall objectives
• Advance the knowledge agenda on Natural Capital Accounting, in particular ecosystem accounting
• By initiating pilot testing of SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting, with a view to:
• Improving the measurement of natural biotic resources, ecosystems and their services at the (sub)national level
• Mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystems in (sub)national level policy-planning and implementation
• Contributing to the development of internationally agreed methodology and its use in partner countries.
Timeframe of the project
Sep 2016 –April 2017
• Design
May 2017 –April 2018
• Development
May 2018-Q1 2020
• Implementation
Q2 2020• Closure + follow-up
Work streams• Piloting ecosystem accounts
(in each of the 5 partner countries) for selected areas (national and/or regional)
• Developing guidelines and methodology
• Indicators• Business accounting
(sustainability reporting)• Communication and
outreach• Training and capacity
